A system is intended for equipping radio telescopes with antennas of small (12-13 m) diameters, used in the very long baseline interferometers (VLBIs), including universal time on-line monitoring interferometers. The system operates in S- and X-wavelength ranges and process up to 8 signals with spectrum widths of up to 512 MHz, converts them into digital sequences with a 1024-MHz clock frequency, and forms data streams in the VLBI Data Interchange Format (VDIF) with a 2048-Mbit/s rate per channel. Data from each channel of the system via the 10G Ethernet interface are transmitted to the data buffering unit for their sending to the correlation processing center.
